gjsit not high time that the masses; of
the people, who neither seek nor hold of-
fa' ; should labor for the return of the
i-ood old times of Republican simplicity,
when statesmen felt a stain as a wound)
when the dispenser of patronage would
scorn to feed his poor relations from the
public crib: and when a President would
cut off his right hand ere it should Bign the
commission of a man who hadbestowed up
on him a gift?'’
Of course, says the Constitutionalist, it
is high time to stop it But should the at
tempt prove impossible, it will be because
such meu as Cbas. A. Dana helped destroy
and extirpate all traces of Republican sim
plicity when they overthrew the Constitu-
liuu aud the South. You have chosen your

The notorious Harriett Beecher Stowe

longing desire for a practical knowledge of

Governor Jenkins.
‘TVe were pleased,” says the Augusta
Chronicle & Sentinel of the 27 th instant,
to see on the street yesterday this distin-
tinguisliod and honored son of the State
looking unusually well and strong. We
trust that he has come to remain with us
permanently. The State cannot spare such
a man. Y, e need them all to aid in the
great work of reconstructing society, and
g.ving peace, order and quiet contentment
to the land."
Yes, “we need them til,” and we trust
the day is not far distant when their in
fluence will again be felt, if not in the coum-
cils of the “nation,” in that of their own
glorious old commonwealth, once the “Em
pire State of the South as she will be
whea
T ruth crushed to earth, shall rise again.”

the hopes of Caban independence.” He
says. “The constant arrival of troops' from

to obtain arms or war material from abroad,

Letter from Lexington—The Superior Court'
—Important Decisions.
, , otrf LixiNGTON, G.
. April 23,1868.
Dear ConstiltifiohaVst:
This has bo: i an uausaily interesting
week in'Lexington- The Superior Court
of Oglethorpe county held its spring ses
sion from Monday until yesterday after
noon, and then adjourned till court in course
The'presiding Judge, Hon. Garnet An
drews, conducted the business with ere lit
to his judicial ability and gave general sat
isfaction, to the bar and people.
Upon a point rising under the relief law,
he held that a contract made before the
war was a contract to pay the specific nnm
her of dollars (herein mentioned, and that
though he was bound under the ruling of
the Supreme Court to admit the testimony
as to the amount of property owned by the
debtor when the contract was made, how
much he had lost; in what manner, etc., as
is provided in the relief law, yet as to the
effect this testimany was to have, he would
not, until further controlled by the Su.
preme Court, allow an. old debt to be scaled
upon the groandvthat-the debtor bid lost
his property, or other such ground; that he
couljl seeno equity.in it, and unless there
was a plea of failure of consideration, or
some’similar one, the reduction of the
amount ofthe debt was in violation of the
'"'ederal Constitution.
Affidayita filed by debtors for the pur
pose of reopening judgments under the
above law, were summarily dismissed and
the levying officer ordered to proceed.
Quite a number of cases involving points
arising under the homestead and relief laws,
are going np to the Supreme Court from
nearly every county in the Northern Cir
cuit. : •
The criminals, Simpson and Weaver,
who last winter stole several thousand dol
lars in ourrency and gold from Mr. Jesse
Dalton, ofthis county, and who were
caught below Atlanta by the energetic and
talented John C. Reid, came into court,
pleading guilty, and were sentenced by the
Judge to three year’s confinement in the
Penitentiary.
The History of Gen. Longstrect’s Letter
A writer in the Banner of the Sonth,
(Father Ryan’s paper) under date of Al
exandria, Ya., March 24, says :
“And now about that letter, and what
now say I have direct, as spoken by Long-
street himself, when in an adjoining county
to this, last year visiting a valued friend.—
He says that after the warclosed ha was in
Ne-t Orleans, and also many other Confed.
esatc Generals, and on a certain occasion,
being in conversation with some of his
brother officers, it was thought that they
were looked upon with distrust and bate by.
the United States authorities, that a letter
written by some one or more of those on
the subject would be a benefit to tbe South.
being the ranking General, was
in to write the letter. General
it says be thought gome exp;o3,
him, dr ajl of them, accepting the
situation,‘would be of uo. benefit to the
South. He says the letter was written by
himself, and Afterwards handed around
among his brother offloers for their oonsid-
eraticn, somo of whom approved altogether,
some altered some of the expressions, and
the letter was then returned to him. Gen
eral Longstreet, for publication. It was
published, and yon know the storm it rais
ed; and now comes the disgraceful part of
the proceeding.
The very Generals who approved of that
letter slunk from oqr loved General, and
left him aloqe to bear the brunt and re-
proach called np in the South by that let
ter. Not one has had the manliness to ac-
knoweledgo that he knew anything of it;
and Gen. Longstreet, with that doggedness
of disposition which rendered his corps in-
vincible, said he was able to b-ar it all, and
would not murmur, that letter had caused
trouble enough, let it stop with him.
Nor did he depart from this determina
tion except on one occasion. Just after
the letter was published he met one of the
Generals refereed to above on the street,
who immediately crossed to tfle other side,
not wishing to feoognize him. A few days

The Internal Revenue Receipts.—
It is stated, semiofficially, that the receipts
from customs now promise to be tbe largest
of any one year in the history of the Gov
ernment, reaching probably 8190,000,000,
pr 820,000,000 in excess of the estimates,
and it is oof im'poesihle that they may even
reach tfle high figure Of8200,000,000. The
intenal revenue receipts to the present
time ate in excess of $110,000,000. The
remriulng *hro*' months, till July, will cov

tiiat on Sunday these two negroes went
with a cart to the corn crib of Mr. Clark
to steal a load of corn. They . were seen
loading their cart by a young man, who got
his gun and went after them. They were
told to leave, but heeded not, when the

A TRUE MARRIAGE.
I believe there are a few thoughful men
who have not come to regard as one of the
least explicable among the great riddles of
the earthly economy tiie rarity of well
sorted marriages. It might be so different
one cannot help thinking. The adaptai
for harm my so wonderful! The ejeu
of happiness so manifold and so rich! Yet
how often—how miseradly sometimes—it
all miscarries! The waters of Paradise turn
ed to fountains of bitterness—tbe gifts
of Heaven perverted to curses upon
earth!
I do not mean that there are few unions
yielding reasonable oomfort,friendly rela
tion VI life free from open quarrel or secret
heart-burningibutl speak of very marriage,
without flaw or jar—a mating alike of the
material, with its intangible affinities and
its wondrons magnetism, and of Ihe imma
terial principle within that survives the
(jenth-change. I speak of a heart home
>ervaded by harmony not only nnbroken,
rat immutable as that of the spheres—felt
to be so by those whom it blesses, calms,
satisfies; a social state to which, when man
and woman attain,there remains nothing in
the way of earthly need or acquisition,
ive daily bread, to be coveted or prayed
for.
Somo think that,in this trial-phase of
onr existence,no such state of harmony and
happiness is to be found. Among the few
who do find it, none of these skeptics will
have place. No entrance into that temple
except for those who believe! Without
faith in the Good and the Beautiful— the
Good that is folt, not seen—the beautiful
that must be conceived before it is realized
man is shut out from the highest enjoy
ment. And such a man can do little

will be a veiy liberal one; and with more

vate ill will, growing out of jealously iu war
times, towards General Rosecrans' by nomi
nating Nelson, of Indiana, to succeed him
in the Mexican Ministry. Grant by his
nepotism and favoritism, is making friends

NOBLE SENTIMENTS. 41
A Medical Professor recently concluded
an address to his graduating class as fol
lows:
“It has often been remarked that the
physician, above all other men, should be a
gentlemen and a man of honor. I avow
myself as of those who hold in profound
reverence the grandold name of gentlemen,
whether it represents the chivalrous knight
of the ancient legends—the, Bayard'with
out fear and without reproach—or the mad
man of Cervantes, the peerless Don Quixote;
the hero of Thackeray’s charming fiction,
the dear old Col . Newcomc; the bright
itical picture of noble .King Arthur, as
•wn by Tennyson; or the glorious stat
uesque model of history, Sir Phillip Sidney;
and I regard honor as the bright, fra
grant flower of morality aud virtue.—dur
profession is one of the highest aud most
sacred trusts; which to violate must entail
nil the penalities of the basest treachery
Onr relations with onr clients, and especial
ly with woman, are inexpresibly confiden
tial and delicate, and afford opportunities
which should never be disregarded, of sus
taining the feeble and protecting those who
need sympathy and help—whose ‘faces wo
should not permit the winds of Heaven to
visit too roughly/ Depend upon it that
in proportion as you fulfill such duties in
the domestic circles where you are received
as guardian and guide, will he your future
success. I am proud to say that a large
part of the purest happiness I have enjoy
ed in my checkered course has resulted
from my professional relations with women,
and the close and valuable friendships or'
iginating therein. It is to them that we
must look for tenderness, gratitude and fi
delity.
